Reenactment: hybrid documentaries and fictional true stories

"This book explores 21st-century films based on recent historical events that blur the lines between fiction and nonfiction where they become virtually indistinguishable, befuddling what constitutes social engagement and opening up to networked environments and online participatory activism. It discusses films such as 12: 08 East of Bucharest, Lemon Tree, The Social Network; documentaries such as This Is Not a Film, Write Down, I Am an Arab; and Netflix series such as Narcos. It explores the notion of historical (in)accuracy, scholarly versus marketable understandings of the past, and the relationship between the screen and contemporary sociopolitical events"-- Provided by publisher.
